<font size="4">May we really imagine the ancient "Nordmänner" taking a
downright real bath -- with soap, warm water, towels and everything -- in a
wooden tub <em>every saturday</em>? <em>Every</em> saturday? Even in winter? Or
maybe even in cold water, when no warm water could be got? This is fascinating.
I feel I have wronged them hitherto. I had very modest ideas about historical
hygiene. Now I will not be surprised about them having had toothbrushes (a new
one every month or so?) and maybe Nasenhaarschneider, only I don't know what
that is called in English.</font></div>
